Has anyone had issues with beetle holes in these cigars? Just received from CI a 5 pack with 3 of them beetle holes.. these didn't come from CI but from Manufacturer.. Can't believe they would sell them like that and lose customer base..

I have smoked them for a while. Never had issues. Definitely tell ci and send them pics.

Easy there thunderdome. I promise you've smoked the larve before. It's dormant, and you never know when they'll hatch. There's no way to know who to blame, contact CS.

Actually mad max is seemingly just a douche bag because he has posted this same complaint twice now looking to stir **** up.

So you order through CI and get deliveries straight from the factory? Thats a pretty neat trick.

Jasecoff I see your the one stirring things up. I never stated CI was responsible, clearly stated that.. Point one.. I also wrote on second site to get info cause no response on first site Point two.
I never mentioned I get cigars straight from factory( great trick you said ) you need to absorb what you read and don't make thin up ... Just a long time smoker trying to get info that's all.
Not trying to stir it up.. lastly didn't your Mother ever tell you to say nothing if you don't have anything to say??? Just saying

You specifically said you got them from the manufacturer... And yes my mother did tell me that but obviously yours didn't because you just did the exact opposite of that advise. You are directly bashing a company and blaming them for selling inferior products on purpose.

And any long term smoker knows that beetle larva exist in the products. Which is why storage is so important regardless of who actually makes a cigar. Even if you were to try and grow your own tobacco you will have beetle larva. So why would you come to a public forum with the sole intent of bashing a product and accusing them of something that was beyond their control? twice.. Unless your just trying to troll and stir crap up?

He said they must have come from the MFR that way...not that he got them from the MFR. Try a little reading comprehension, Noob. And as far as his complaint goes.....does anyone believe CI/Cbid is doing things the right way anymore? This place tanked back in Feb or whenever and it hasn't recovered. I doubt it does. I'm amazed this forum is still active. It's obviously not monitored anymore.


Mad Max......with the exception of ZRX1200, this forum isn't monitored by Cbid employees and no one here gives a shit about your problems. You will receive nothing but grief on this forum. Good luck with whatever cbid did to f*ck you over. They seem to be getting good at it.

Also see this post in the "cigar discussion" forum....where it belongs

Regardless isolate them from your regular stock.Eggs or an actual beetle may be present........not something you want to go through.Voice of experience here.

BTW not that it would've helped here but every cigar that enters my home goes through a 72 hour welcome party in my freezer.Not taking any chances anymore.

Oh yea.......smoked one last night with a gin & tonic,great flavor but it does not like to stay lit.Granted I'm a slow smoker but these seem to be fire retardant

Mine have burnt uneven, but not retardant like Frank1 (or a 5Vegas Gold Maduro).

quit being a pu$$y and just smoke them. If you're lucky, one will pop his head out and you can watch him squeal.
